Based on the comic book series"Little Nemo in Slumberland"from 1905 by Winsor McCay,Slumberlandcenters on a young girl, an 11-year-old named Nema rather than Nemo in the movie, who discovers a secret map to the dreamworld of the titular Slumberland. Nema enjoys living in a lighthouse with her father, Peter, who has taught her how to sail. Sadly, following Peter’s apparent death while at sea, Nema is sent to live with her estranged uncle Philip, who is dull and nothing like her father.
Slumberlandfollows Nema as she discovers a secret map to the dreamworld of Slumberland,and with the help of an eccentric outlaw named Flip,who happens to be a half-man/half-monster creature and claims to have known Peter years ago, sets off on an adventure with the hope that she will be able to see her late father once again.
Alongside the vibrant, ethereal landscapes of the dreamworld, the first trailer forSlumberlandoffers our first look at Momoa in action, with the behemoth action star playing a different role than what audiences are used to.
